Description

A thermoplastic resin composite and a method for preparing products using said composite Field of the Invention The invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composite, in particular to a wollastonite and calcium carbonate modified thermoplastic resin composite and a method for preparing products using the composite. The composite can be applied to produce sanitary wares, hardware of sanitary wares, outdoor products, and decorative pipes of external walls and decorations of public scenes.
Background of the Invention Common sanitary wares including bathtubs, counter basins, toilets and urinals are manufactured by firing molded figuline, glazing their surfaces and sintering them. Such process requires a great deal of coal or natural gas, causing massive carbon emission and energy consumption which seriously pollute the air. Furthermore, asymmetrical temperature may crack and deform the products during firing, resulting in numerous defective and unqualified products and causing secondary pollution and an increase in cost.
In addition, the decreasing figuline resource will disable production of ceramic sanitary wares when it is exhausted.
Recently, some try to produce sanitary wares by man-made agate or acrylic.
See details in Chinese patent of invention: Acrylic Toilet Made by Pouring Process (patent No. ZL200410040962.6 and Number of authorized announcement of the invention: CN126923C). Components of the toilet are made by pouring mixture of resin and agate powder into an empty interlayer.
Although the products have the general characteristics of ceramic products, the process is complicated and requires plenty of petroleum byproducts and the products are not satisfying in practicability and self-cleaning ability.
Another patent relating to toilet with composite structure of acrylic and glass fiber reinforced plastic is developed on the basis of the former one. See details in Chinese patent of utility model: Toilet with Composite Structure of Acrylic and Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (patent No. ZL200620034821.8 and Number of authorized announcement of the invention: CN2926350Y).
The product looks like plastic and is not satisfying in appearance, durability and practicability.
Chinese patent of invention discloses products made of artificial marble and preparation method thereof (application No. 96106392.0 and publication No.:CN1167741A). The product is made by pouring marble powder, unsaturated polyester resin, aluminum hydroxide and wollastonite. The performance of the product and the production process are improved, but the product is still not satisfying in weight, technological practicability, smoothness and fineness, besides the low labor efficiency which disables industrial mass production.
Summary of the Invention The invention provides a thermoplastic resin composite. Products made of the composite, like sanitary wares, hardware of sanitary wares, outdoor products, decorative pipes of external walls and decorations of public scenes,
2 are featured with low carbon, low energy consumption, no pollution, good toughness, high intensity, and excellent smoothness and fineness.
To achieve the goal above, the invention provides a thermoplastic resin composite, comprising materials by weight percentages as follows:
50-70% of filler;
25-40% of polypropylene;
3-6% of maleic anhydride modified polypropylene;
1-3% of titanium dioxide;
and 1-2% antioxidant, wherein said filler has been modified by stearic acid.
The filler is wollastonite, calcium carbonate or mixture of them.
Said modification refers to mixing and stirring of stearic acid (with weight percentage of 1-5%) and filler (with weight percentage of 95-99%) at the temperature of 90 C-100 C for 15-30 mm by using high-speed mixer to allow full mixing and colliding of the stearic acid and the filler, so as to achieve the purpose of modifying granule in the surface. The modified calcium carbonate and aedelforsite can fully combine with polypropylene, which greatly improves the compatibility among different materials, reduces the surface oil absorption of calcium carbonate and aedelforsite, greatly increases the appending proportion of calcium carbonate and aedelforsite, and gives the advantage of high-load filler of modified nonmetal thermoplastic resin composite. The modified nonmetal materials possess high compatibility and high-load filler capacity, and bathroom products made by said modified nonmetal thermoplastic resin composite enjoy the advantages of hardness, high strength and corrosion-resistant capacity and the tactile impression as that of natural stone.
The wollastonite is a nontoxic inorganic acicular mineral with good chemical corrosion resistance, thermal stability, dimensional stability, vitreous and pearl luster and low water and oil absorbing capacity. It can strengthen the product due to its good mechanical property and electrical property. The calcium carbonate can be sufficiently melted with polypropylene when it is unmodified, and is inexpensive, making it another ideal filler besides wollastonite. By using wollastonite or calcium carbonate of different specifications or mixtures thereof, the invention ensures the compactness of the composite and saves adhesive.
Polypropylene is used as an adhesive of the thermoplastic composite. It has high crystallinity, small relative density (about 0.90-0.91g/cm2), melting point of 170-175 C and molecular weight of 0.15-0.7 million. It has good heat resistance in macrocosm with a heat distortion temperature of 90-105 C.
As a nonpolar high polymer, the polypropylene has good electrical resistance property and good thermal stability. Moreover, it is chemically stable since it hardly absorbs water and is nonreactive with acids except with strong oxidizing acids (oleum, nitrosonitric acid) and is resistant to bases.
It is better than polyethylene in rigidity and intensity and has extremely outstanding fatigue bending resistance. However, it exhibits greater creep strain than polyamide and polyvinyl chloride.
4 Furthermore, the polypropylene is M700, M2600 or a mixture of them.
Different polypropylenes or mixtures can be applied to production as adhesives according to rigidity and absorbability of the products.
The thermoplastic resin is usually simple and convenient to process and has high mechanical energy, but its heat resistance and rigidity are not satisfying.
The wollastonite, calcium carbonate or a mixture thereof not only improves mechanical property, heat distortion temperature, dimensional stability, low temperature impact property and ageing property of the thermoplastic resin composite, but also has some properties beyond those of thermosetting glass fiber reinforced composite, while such composite can still be applied to injection forming.
Content of the filler is 50-70%. Generally speaking, the thermoplastic resin composite modified by wollastonite, calcium carbonate or a mixture thereof has: (i) improved elasticity modulus, creep resistance and mechanical strengths like tensile-strength, bending strength and compressive strength, (ii) increased heat distortion temperature, (iii) lowered coefficient of linear expansion, (iv) lowered water absorbing capacity and improved dimensional stability, (v) improved heat conductivity, (vi) improved rigidity, (vii) ability to inhibit stress crack, (viii) fire resistance and (ix) improved electrical property.
The maleic anhydride modified polypropylene is formed by grafting polypropylene and maleic anhydride through extrusion. It can increase adhesiveness and compatibility between polar materials and nonpolar materials due to the introduction of strongly polar lateral groups into the nonpolar main chain. Maleic anhydride used during the production of filled polypropylene can greatly improve affinity of the filler for polypropylene and dispersion of the filler, thus the filler can be better dispersed in the polypropylene, increasing tensile-strength and impact strength of the filled polypropylene.
Titanium dioxide is used for whitening.
The tertiary carbon atoms in the polypropylene are very sensitive to oxygen, making polypropylene prone to ageing when being exposed to heat, light and air. Therefore, an antioxidant is used to prevent ageing.
The invention also provides a method for preparing products like sanitary wares, hardware of sanitary wares, outdoor products, decorative pipes of external walls and decorations of public scenes using the nonmetal material modified thermoplastic resin composite, comprising the following steps:
Step 1: uniformly mixing polypropylene, maleic anhydride modified polypropylene, titanium dioxide, filler and antioxidant according to given amounts by a mixer;
Step 2: feeding the mixture into a hopper of a double-screw extruder and forming the mixture thermally;
Step 3: extruding thermally formed strips by the double-screw extruder and cooling them;
Step 4: feeding the strips into a granulator to form grains;

Step 5: drying the grains in an oven;
Step 6: feeding the grains into a charging barrel of an injection machine, melting the grains and injecting the composite from the charging barrel into a metal mould of the product by the injection machine;
Step 7: injecting cooling water into a cold runner of the mould to cool and form the product;
Step 8: opening the mould and taking out the formed product.
In particular, the injection machine used in step 6 injects the melted grains into the metal mould by a piston cylinder through high pressure.
The temperature of the cooling water used in step 7 is 5-10 C.
The product is formed by steps as follows: preparing composite grains of polypropylene and high-quality wollastonite, calcium carbonate or a mixture thereof with more than 95% whiteness using the extruder and granulator, melting the grains, injecting the melt into a mould by the injection machine and cooling the melt. The preparation method uses materials which are widely available, greatly lowers energy consumption since it does not need long-time firing with high energy, and reduces labor intensity through high mechanical automation. Compared with traditional techniques, the invention has advanced technique and adopts injection machine, thus the percentage of pass is high, no defective product will be produced and the method can be applied to industrial mass production. Additionally, the products made by the method and composite are thin, light and as smooth as mirrors, have good resistance to dirt, good self-cleaning ability, and high toughness and intensity.
The thermoplastic resin composite and method for preparing products using the composite can be applied to produce sanitary ware series, hardware series of sanitary wares, outdoor product series, decorative pipe series of external walls and decoration series of public scenes.
Examples The technical proposal is further described by the following embodiments:
The method for preparing products using the thermoplastic resin composite comprises the following steps:
Step 1: uniformly mixing the polypropylene, maleic anhydride modified polypropylene, titanium dioxide, filler and antioxidant according to given amounts by a mixer;
Step 2: feeding the mixture into a hopper of a double-screw extruder and forming the mixture thermally;
Step 3: extruding thermally formed strips by the double-screw extruder and cooling them;
Step 4: feeding the strips into a granulator to form grains;
Step 5: drying the grains in an oven;
Step 6: feeding the dry grains into a charging barrel of an injection machine, melting the grains, inputting the amount of material for a single product into a computer which controls the injection machine, starting the injection control program, and injecting the composite into a metal mould by injection screws, wherein the injection machine injects the melt into the metal mould by a piston cylinder through high pressure;
Step 7: injecting 5-10 C cooling water into a cold runner of the mould to cool and form the product;
Step 8: opening the mould and taking out the formed product.
The calcium carbonate and aedelforsite used in the following examples are modified, namely pretreated through high-speed mixing by adding stearic acid (1.5%, C16H3202, and melting point of 69.6 C ) and calcium carbonate or aedelforsite (98.5%) into the high-speed mixer, heating the high-speed mixer to 90 C-100 C to melt the stearic acid and to fully contact and collide with the calcium carbonate or aedelforsite for 15-30 min, stopping stirring and mixing and completing the modification procedure. The modified calcium carbonate and aedelforsite can fully combine with polypropylene, which greatly improves the compatibility among different materials, lowers the surface oil absorption of calcium carbonate and aedelforsite, greatly increase the appending proportion of calcium carbonate and aedelforsite and gives the advantage of high-load filler to modified nonmetal thermoplastic resin composite. The modified nonmetal materials possess high compatibility and high-load filler capacity, and bathroom products made by said modified nonmetal thermoplastic resin composite enjoy the advantages of hardness, high strength and corrosion-resistant capacity, and a tactile impression as that of natural stone.
